The Tampa Bay Times reported the professional wrestler filed the lawsuit Monday morning in Pinellas-Pasco Circuit Court. He filed under his real name, which is Terry Bollea. It seeks damages of $50 million.

In addition to claiming unnecessary surgeries, the lawsuit said the Laser Spine Institute used an endorsement from Hogan without permission or payment.

The Laser Spine Institute did not return a call for comment.

In October, Hogan agreed to a settlement with his DJ friend over a sex tape involving Hogan and the DJ's wife.
